I consider stitch an accent, or in work application, a method to hold multiple layers together. A fiber art piece can stand on it's own without ANY stitching, as long as the base is some sort of textile product.<br />I suppose this is where the lines of fiber art/art quilting/quilting/embroidery/sewing all get crossed. One may be a derivative of the other, but that doesn't mean it needs to be a slave to the same form.<br />Clear as mud, eh? <:)<br />In other words: If you are happy with the piece NOW, leave it. If you feel pulled toward some sort of stitch, why not do it with paint or a pen? So you have incorporated traditional technique in a new way.Anne Huskey-Lockardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01642632328404951486noreply@blogger.com
